The
Cabinet considered a report of the Executive Director (Environment
and Place) presenting an updated Conservation Area Appraisal for
the Crowstone Conservation Area for
consideration.
 
Resolved:
 
1.
That the adoption of the updated Conservation Area Appraisal for
Crowstone Conservation Area, as set out
in Appendix 1 to the submitted report, be approved.

 
2.
That public consultation take place on the Article 4 Direction
proposed for the Crowstone Conservation
Area and that a subsequent decision on confirmation of the Article
4 Direction be delegated to the Executive Director (Environment and
Place), in consultation with the Executive Councillors for Arts,
Culture, Heritage & Leisure and Housing and
Planning.
 
Reasons for decision:
 
The
Crowstone Conservation Area has been
appraised as part of this work, to provide up to date evidence on
the area and any issues affecting it. Public consultation was
undertaken on a draft appraisal as part of preparing the current
document. The appraisal provides an up to date management plan to
help guide appropriate and sympathetic change within the area and
highlight opportunities to enhance the character and
appearance.
 
Other
options:
 
Not to
adopt the Crowstone Conservation Area
Appraisal and take forward the Article 4 Direction. This would be
contrary to the recommendations within the Appraisal, produced by
independents heritage experts Purcell.
 
Note:
This is an Executive Function
Not
eligible for call-in as the matter has been subject to pre-Cabinet
Scrutiny.
Cabinet Members: Cllr Jarvis and Cllr Garston.
